Madrid until the 30th minute was all the rest of Barcelona

Sat, 10 Dec 2011 19:15:43 GMT

The ship returned to walking at the Bernabeu. Real Madrid did not help nor a goal after 22 seconds to get rid of a ghost that threatens to drag on in the White House. The ship returned to walking at the Bernabeu. Real Madrid did not help nor a goal after 22 seconds to get rid of a ghost that threatens to drag on in the White House. Benzema opened the scoring, but Barca equalized when he wanted to Messi, who attended Alexis for 1-1. The 1-2 came to rest back in a shot from Xavi encountered in Marcelo and Cesc closed the scoring with a great headed goal. The 1-3 endorsed the superiority of a ship that returned to the patient and impose their style of play before a Madrid reassured that even Benzema´s goal. Quite the contrary. Mourinho has a serious problem. It is not that his team can not compete with the club. This is not to believe. Barca´s victory may have a devastating effect on the morale of Real Madrid, reassembled based on victories, goals, good game even, but again demolished by an opponent who did exactly what everyone expected him to do. Playing back three or identity of the squires of Messi, are all secondary issues. While the game is decided in midfield and Messi play in the club, the classic key is explained only in Barca. Madrid had the dream home: a stadium full pressure, a tornado output and a gift from Valdes, who did not despise Benzema. But the dream soon poisoned, because the home team stepped back and allowed Barca to recover around the ball. Then something amazing happened: the Madrid was winning, she left her potential rival to nine points, but they were running the whites, who mistook the speed rush, which made each holding a counter. Always. Never once stopped to think of Madrid, to take a break, and forced the boat to chase the ball. Just the opposite. It was the club who, like knowing the end of the film began to play, imposing their numerical superiority in the middle, opening the field to Iniesta, exchanging pieces in attack. But the rescue had to go on as usual, the player who is always in such parties, who left few wanted before going to Alexis, who defined a master. Put the focus on Messi forced to revisit the view of Christian. The Portuguese signed another night to forget against Barca. He was wrong on all important decisions had to deal with, especially in a counter that with 1-0, decided to go to his goal rather than give it to Di Maria. Another Madrid footballer whose behavior is symptomatic in this type of situation. After the tie, Pepe began to have too much work. And you know how bad this man will feel stress. However, the party broke into unexpected haul. Real, who came out of recess oxygenated melted after the 1-2. Xavi Hernandez caught a ball in front and dull leather, after playing Marcelo Casillas cheated. He went crying after hitting the pole, and so left the Madrid, unable to stand up to the wall Barca. He could not pull it Benzema, despite all the best of your computer, or Di Maria, often abrupt, and Ronaldo, who closed a dark night of the ball pitching outside 2-2. It was a sweet and, besides, no one bothered him. Quite the opposite happened to Cesc when, less than a minute later, at the far post capped a perfect cross from Dani Alves. The Brazilian came as a plane, launched by Messi, who else. Leo did not need to run the game goals. The Fàbregas both closed out the match, although the club, clutching a large Iniesta, do not give up blood. Could, Benzema and Kaka also were near the goal. In both cases there was makeup. Superfluous in the case of the ship and inadequate in that of Madrid. Today, the difference between these two teams is not measured in goals. Measured in confidence. And in that race, Guardiola´s team is light years ahead of Mourinho.

Between the 1977/78 marketing year 1984/85 and the `Fluff´ played for Argentinos Juniors, Boca Juniors, FC Barcelona and a year in Naples. Another attacker who many will remember is Ronaldo. Blunted by his scoring in Spain and Italy. At 24 years old and eight seasons in Brazil totaled 153 goals, well below the figure just to get Messi. The former international wore in that time period T-shirts PSV Eindhoven, Barcelona and Inter Milan. In England there are two players who came to the history books for all you gave to football: Bobby Charlton and George Best. Both played at Manchester United and comparable in age and campaigns Leo Messi, the Barcelona star now also improves the records of these two myths of football in the UK. Bobby Charlton scored 133 goals between 1956/57 and 1963/64 seasons, while George Best scored 179 goals in the 11 years he played in the `Red Devils´. Cruyff and Henry, the next to fall?

Messi failed, and the boat left two points and the lead

Mon, 24 Oct 2011 20:20:42 GMT

The star succumbs to the spell of Sevilla and Barca pounds a night of misfortune An eternity. A long wait, minutes and more minutes, with the Nou Camp chanted his name. "Messi, Messi." And Leo there alone in the penalty spot with the ball in hand, while the two teams embroiled in a brawl went with Kanoute exercise of hustlers. And, again, the cry: "Messi, Mesi." And Leo, who had already been several minutes with his head on the other hand, unknown, there alone. Perhaps it was the day to take the pressure. But Messi is not hidden. How will you pass the buck. He least of all. And then chute. And it happened as usual. It happened that Messi failed. Yes, it sounds weird. Messi failed, hard to believe, and the boat left two points and the lead. The Camp Nou was silent, as if hoping to repeat that movie, and the end were different. But no. Then he heard the same cry again. "Messi, Messi." A gesture of encouragement amid the general downturn. The first penalty of the season that Barca whistle and failed to solve a game full of woe. As if he had not had enough of the magic of that night in the Sánchez Pizjuán, who departed the ship of the King´s Cup, with Palop flying club to club, Sevilla appeared to him again the same Virgin, and fulfilled the role Varas Palop. This time, at the Camp Nou. And he delivered the final one while condemning Barca deserved no mercy, oblivious to the many accomplishments he made to take the match. Not even the breath of the Nou Camp was used to dribble the spell, which ended even affecting who is always above all: Messi. Before the penalty, he no longer appeared, and from 11 meters, certified one of the worst nights. THE MADRID, steadily / At the last minute into added time, the club was on hand to make it for 90 minutes continuously sought. He had plenty of chances but, again and again, everything crashed. Now Varas, now a leg, now the post, now two feet more or less ... Too unfair, but enough to see pass before the Madrid. From the sad tie in Santander, from this change in style that they say was imposed in the locker room with Mourinho intercession with the Spanish group, the Madrid march steadily. The numbers are impressive: 6 wins, with 25 goals for and 3 against. The team has put aside the hysteria that accompanied him and has spent playing. In its way, a very different way of Barca, but with impressive efficiency. Mourinho has continued to fire messages to his great enemy, but has now lowered his voice is heard and its equipment. Any day you can return to their old ways, but for the moment that inner peace, more or less artificial, it works. Yesterday, in an apparently dangerous scenario, shaken by contempt for Mourinho, the Madrid paced from beginning to end, so that was a workout. Malaga Pellegrini broke in a heartbeat and Madrid opened a comfortable hall and snuck around as they wished (0-4), first Higuain and then three times Ronaldo, again smiling and happy to have gained their statistics. An excuse to give vent to his humility. "I do not get the game ball because I have no space," he said. Some things do not change or will change. Kanoute trickery / Sevilla has no sheikh, and has lost a lot of names in its renovation, but retains its competitive spirit. And in front of the club. Marcelino says that the club bored him, so that both pass and touch, you get tired. That object is the goal and the sooner you reach the end of the road, the better. Since then, his team does not linger long. Going straight. Of course, attacking, attacked recently. Had a chance, and thanks, and a point above all to defend. And finally, bad art. Kanoute Since moving the ball in the penalty when Messi waited and waited. There, alone. And failed. "Messi, Messi."

Javi Varas, Messi will cover criminal and takes the cry of the Barca goal

Mon, 24 Oct 2011 19:13:52 GMT

Sevilla goalkeeper stopped a penalty Barca striker in stoppage time Javi Varas humanized Leo Messi last night after unhinge Barca. Sevilla goalkeeper saved a penalty will Barca to ten when playing the first minute of the three extension enacted by Iturralde. Penalty was one of the longest in the history of the tournament, which sparked the brawl and the outcome, they will be talking about, because Seville was reluctant to see lack of Fazio on Iniesta and it is difficult to fail the Flea, except when in front is Javi Varas. You could sum up better the match in the penalty, blameless and were recognizable as both teams attacking and defending Barcelona Sevilla. On one side of the goalkeeper and the other striker, reduced shock heads-up. To some extent Andalusian excitement was understandable, more than his pride and prayed his sheepskin, because they escaped a tie and a half hours earned in solidarity. More reprehensible was his anger and how to entangle four minutes before Messi pulled. The Flea, in any case hardly be decentralized. The landscape looked in handy to break open the Argentine goal Sevilla. It was the best of sentences that you can order an offensive team for a very close rival. The best scenario for a goalkeeper. The figure of Javi Varas became gigantic in the same way that dwarfed that of Messi. Goalkeeper legend enlarged his coast´s most famous player in the world. He stopped halfway up the shot, set the left post of the goal, only available to a hero as Javi Varas. A Barca of no use 15 shots on goal, five and five also Iniesta Messi. Winks football are that amazing and left Barca the lead at the Nou Camp with the visit of Sevilla after missing a penalty in the last minute. Unexpected news if we look at the play, the place, the rival and at the time, painting a day that seemed worse for Madrid. It happened that Sevilla tied to the boat after a great defensive exercise, by strict and neat, estimable if it serves the framework and the means available to Guardiola. Marcelino tactical work was as flawless as the performance of Javi Varas. Wherever the board did not the technician, he reached the Sevilla goalkeeper, quick feet and hands, intuitive, better run now than Messi. Although he was given a thousand times around the race, the Blaugrana were left dry for once after having 21 goals at the Camp Nou since the start of the league. Statistics also ensured that both teams were undefeated, and still do not lose, and they have only conceded four goals, and remain the same. It is easy to attack a defense of Marcelino, always well placed and better work, also that of Seville. It did not help the Camp Nou turf irregular. And did you talk Guardiola alignment. Barca played with a defense of three, apparently a risk against an opponent who specializes in transitions, and attacked with Adriano at the right end, a surprise in a multi-player training indoors, especially on the pass filtering as Thiago, Xavi, Iniesta and Messi. The formula did not work because it demands speed and aggressiveness, transmitter-receiver synchronization, accuracy. The success or failure depends on an inch or tenth of a second, and Sevilla defender refine the front of the club. The boys did not grant Marcelino stretched spaces and would dramatically and selectively. Valdes got two balls and Javi Varas complicated exercised over free doorman, attentive to the exits with their feet, especially before the arrival of Iniesta. After the half hour, the party demanded by Barça a gear change or a new plan. Barcelona fans had been strangled. Guardiola opted to attack then in the opposite direction, outside and not inside, so Adriano moved to left back and Messi opened to the right. From Orthodoxy, Barca best hooked to the field, gathered around the ball more and neutralized the output of Sevilla, impeccable in its zone defense, always safeguarded by Javi Varas. Barca were loading their attack, now with Pedro and then with Cesc, always persevering in their football association. Neither the shot nor the middle-distance solo run part of the style book. Have always preferred the game grow and persevere in their game, even against a defense like organization and implementation of the Seville. Unflagging in his efforts, Barca found in the penultimate arrival, so that was denied during the game: Iniesta hooked Fazio, witty and creative, and forced a penalty which Messi needed to regain his aura. Javi Varas, however, drew a phenomenal stop, off a sublime performance as well as to humanize the infallible Messi last night.

A Messi, fear the accuracy of the left leg but the right has 31 goals

Fri, 21 Oct 2011 19:26:44 GMT

The Argentine records shows with his right hand also has carats. With this anthology has goals like he did to Getafe in the Copa or Madrid at the Bernabeu. The last two to put them in the recent Racing Day at the Camp Nou disputed. I fear for the precision it holds in his left leg. It even has a song dedicated to 'The Police' entitled 'Messi, golden left foot'. His left leg is torture for the rivals are not how to stop it. It is very expensive to take off the leather on that side. Result, it has been able to score many goals that have led him to the provisional top scorer in the league. Bring 10 this season and a total of 196 with the club in all competitions. The funny thing is that 31 of those many have left their leg 'bad', showing that his right hand is also endowed with carats. With his two goals against Racing, 'The Flea' has already surpassed the previous record and has Kubala since the direct reach 235 of Caesar, the historical record at FC Barcelona. Of the 196 goals that leads Argentina to date, 130 have gone out of his left foot but what is striking is that it has managed to make over thirty with his right hand. The attacker figures removed with the cliché that says that most lefties do not usually use his leg too right hand when shooting at goal. The `10 'so and, according to statistics, with remarkable frequency and success. With his right hand has scored in all competitions: League, Cup and Champions and important goals, like that 'Maradona' Cup he did at Getafe. They were also catching those who have scored at the Bernabeu, one of them after circumvent the entire Madrid defense. The two arrived in the recent past Barca game at home against Racing. Of all the colors does not lack the Argentine repertoire when facing the rival goal. Plus their targets right and left-handed shot, 'The Flea' has got 16 points from the penalty line, eight head, four direct shot, one by hand (against Espanyol) and one with the chest (in the Club World). A wide array of resources for any situation. The figures do not lie and point out that Argentina is not only gold in his left foot.

For the footballer, "the fame and money are not the most important in life." "Really, I think it only matters what you are. No one should lose humility. I am no better or worse person for what I have, nor do I think more than another, for nothing," he said. He also referred to addiction where people tend to fall in today`s world and work your foundation to help them. "If a person falls into drugs or alcohol is not the main culprit, because the cause of the problem is the lack of opportunities. It is so because he had no education and because they have missed a lot," he said. "Therefore, my intention was always to work with the younger ones, to avoid getting to make those mistakes. And though sometimes a part of the blame, is never one hundred percent. All this situation starts with the need," said .
